Lim Kim - Happy Me (original version by ECO) ost Reply 1994

Here the English translation lyrics :

I met you after going/through several break ups/Maybe that’s why I was/more scared to start with you/But getting to know someone/and loving someone/How great would it be if you were/the last person to do so? Like me/Even during my busy day, when/I hear your voice for a moment/I wonder if you feel/like you’re with me too
If only you were there when/I come home every night/Then your heart could rest in/my embrace after a long day/Just love me like you love me/now, if only you don’t change/The person who could have all/of me is you,/I won’t be shaken
Sometimes, you/feel sorry about/your future that’s not set/But don’t forget, I love you, if/I’m with you, it’s a happy me Even during my busy day, when/I hear your voice for a moment/I wonder if you feel like/you’re with me tooIf only you were there when/I come home every night/Then your heart could rest in/my embrace after a long day/Just love me like you love me/now, if only you don’t change/The person who could have all/of me is you,/I won’t be shaken
Sometimes, you/feel sorry about/your future that’s not set/But don’t forget, I love you, if/I’m with you, it’s a happy me I want to throw away the love that/the world decided upon with/many expectations Like your/heart, I want to always stay/at the same place And be another/you, for the precious you Just love me/like you love me/now, if only you don’t change/The person who could have all/of me is you, I won’t be shaken/Are you feeling sorry about/your future that is not set yet?You’re not alone now/Don’t forget, if I’m with you,/it’s a happy me 

This song should be having sort of love-relieved and life-cherised feeling in it. This should be one happy song. Just like the title.

Unfortunately, i don’t feel it. I read the lyrics, i know the meaning of those words. And indeed, it is a happy song. But the thing is, i always get teary everytime hearing this song. especially this Lim Kim version.

After going through a long and painful weekend with Answer Me 1994 episode 14 and 15, you would feel what i feel. Moreover if you are team Chilbong. You must understand what i babble about.

God, drama, why..

Why this series should be soo good that i might feel that my life peaks on weekend lately.

And, why.. why this chilbong character should be soo great even after he got so painfully heartbreaking and bittersweet first love..

Why..

Damn this drama got me so emotional that i think i am half psychotic for rooting for chilbong so much.

Haha.

Terlepas dari drama stuff and chilbongie-possessed self, lagu ini  punya sisi nostalgic yang kuat. You know, that feeling, saat kamu melintas di koridor SMA yang lama kamu tinggalkan dan sejenak menoleh ke deretan bangku di dalam kelas dimana sejuta memori bersarang di sana. kamu ingat obrolan-obrolan beragam—dari guru galak, senior ganteng, latihan ekskul, drama roman di dalam kelas, sampai update gosip terbaru di lingkungan sekolah. Atau kamu akan ingat keriuhan kantin di jam istirahat, saking penuhnya kamu sampai bisa mengunyah snack sambil berdiri, membaca catatan-catatan random di mading sekolah. Or, even, your memory of a first love too.

I played this song a lot in the rushing train on the way back home.

You know, as the farms, and fields, houses and trees ran passing by, you suddenly remember about rainy days in the youth when the soil smelled so fresh, or words—the painful and sweet ones, or faces you cherised the most, or the long lost love.

In the language i don’t even understand, this song is powerful enough to knock my sense.

And makes me cry again.
